All of the animals at PMMC were found stranded on the beaches, jetties or oil platforms along the coast that we serve. When we are notified of a stranded animal, we rescue it only if there is cause to do so. While it is quite normal for a pinniped to come out onto land and rest, it is not normal for them to do so in populated areas nor is it normal for them to allow humans anywhere near them.

All of Arizona R.E.S.C.U.E.'s animals are saved from the euthanasia list at the pound and are all adoptable. Arizona R.E.S.C.U.E. does not accept animals from the public.

Many of the animals are taken care of by volunteer foster parents, also some of R.E.S.C.U.E.'s dogs are housed in donated space by pet hotels, and most of R.E.S.C.U.E.'s cats stay at its donated Feline Care Center. R.E.S.C.U.E. used to have some animals in local Petsmarts, but they no longer do that because of their emphasis on finding a compatible home for all animals. R.E.S.C.U.E.

Periodically, we rescue animals that appear to have shark bites. In a few cases, we have been able to positively identify shark bites by the shape of the wound, and sometimes a tooth is found in the wound. Sharks are a major predator of seals and sea lions; most shark attacks probably result in successful kills, rather than just injuries.

The standard rescue equipment consists of a cage, herding boards, hoop nets, and blankets for restraint.

No. We can sometimes transport injured, sick, abandoned or displaced wildlife and animals in need of help to the proper facility, but we do charge a fee. Call or contact the local animal rescue and wildlife rehabilitators listed on our Wildlife Rehabilitation page. You might also call the NJ Division of Fish & Game and Fish Department or the NYDEC (New York) for a complete list of licensed Wildlife Rehabilitators in NJ.

mentioned above, the Colonial Schipperke Club is very active in finding homes for "pre-owned" Schipperkes. These are Schips who for reasons normally not of their making, have lost their people. They may be lost or stolen dogs, dogs who suffer from the deaths or divorces of their owners, or dogs who are given up for a variety of reasons by their original owners. Colonial members often provide foster care or brokering services to match up these dogs with new owners.

First of all, you will not be rescuing a Bearded Collie unless you are actually out visiting shelters or searching dog pounds. More likely you will be adopting from Bearded Collie Rescue or another organization that has rescued the dog in some manner (from kill shelters, abandoned, or even from people who advise they are taking the dog to a shelter and offering Rescue a chance to take it before they do).

Animal Care and Control operates three shelters. One is for the City of Coolidge on Kenworthy Road. Another is in San Manuel near the rodeo grounds, and the third is our main office/shelter at 764 S. Eleven Mile Corner Road between Coolidge and Casa Grande.

Yes. Charles River offers In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), Artificial Insemination (AI), and Ovarian Transplantation to rescue a line. We can also provide complete computerized sperm analysis on males to assess their fertility prior to beginning any such procedure.

Most of the time, the animals are placed with new adoptive families. Rarely, we will keep the animal for its life and use it for our educational outreach programs. If the animal is ill, decisions are made as to whether the animal should be humanely euthanized or treated. We try to treat all animals whenever possible. (see our Current Pet Listing page) We offer a free rapidly growing "Resources" database section on our website for people to list and find any of these types of organizations.

the time you adopt one of our rescue Cairns, you will be asked to make a donation to CPCRN. This donation helps defray shelter fees and other costs paid to procure our Rescues, the cost of transporting them to our foster homes, the costs of providing them with food and appropriate veterinary care, including spay/neuter, immunizations, heartworm testing and prevention, and other medical and/or grooming needs as are required by the particular dogs in our program.

Researchers are trying to find out exactly why ozone has an impact on asthma and what to do about it. There's an on-site testing technique for exercise-induced asthma that screens athletes while in their natural environment. Many suffering from asthma also suffer from acid reflux. Research is underway to see if treating the GERD will ease the asthma. A theory suggests that early exposure to environmental allergens boosts the immune system and reduces the risk for asthma.

The Tibetan Terrier is a rare, mid-sized (20-25 lbs.) shaggy dog which comes in a wide variety of colors including black, white, silver, cream, golden and sable in solid, parti-color, and tri-color combinations. He is small enough to live comfortably in an apartment and share your bed or chair, yet large enough to enjoy a long hike or romp with kids. Owners often describe them as a large dog in a small dog's body.

We're a group of volunteers forming an organization whose sole purpose is to try to find homes for as many of the thousands of lost or abandoned dogs found in the Metro Atlanta county animal shelters as we can possibly manage before they are put to death. We have virtually no assets and do not solicit donations, although we are a charitable organization recognized by IRS under section 501(c)3 of the US Tax Code.

We concentrate mainly on saving the lives of the pets that are in Shelters and Animal Controls. Most of them are days away from being euthanized when we bring them into our rescue. We will take in owner surrenders if we have space but we do ask for a small donation of either pet food, vetting the pet before coming to us, any supplies you may have on hand to help care for the pet while with us or any supplies that will benefit pets that come to us from shelters.

Because you are a good and caring person who wants to do something good for a dog. You are willing to open you home to a dog in need and spend time getting that dog adjusted to his new home. And you will provide that dog with love, companionship, shelter, food and take care of his or her health needs. Many people approach rescue saying that they want to do something good for dogs. There are too many dogs already and taking a rescue into their home is a way of helping.

Quite honestly, Rescue first determines if you should have any sort of dog. Then determines if a Bearded Collie is the right dog for you. Have you read our section reasons you may not want to own one ? Just as with a breeder, Rescue wants the Beardie to have a good home. They don't want to find it at the shelter again. Many of these dogs came into rescue because they ran away in the first place.

Some approach rescue as an alternative to going to a Breeder, and happily tell the rescue person or fill in an application saying "I want a rescue puppy." You should know that very rarely does rescue get a puppy under a year old. It happens of course, but with Bearded Collies it may be a years between rescue puppies. Owners tend to keep puppies inside and watch them carefully. Puppies don't have the urge to run like some adults do.

A8. Absolutely! Goldens shed a little all year round and twice a year they lose most of their coat. Anyone intent on a "hair free" home, should reconsider getting a Golden. Their coat requires brushing of at least once a week. Their hair can be long and can become matted if it isn't properly cared for. A thorough grooming to trim the hair on the paws, tail, and around the ears needs to be done on a monthly basis.

Often times, when people hear the term "animal rescue," or more specifically "dog rescue," they immediately think of search and rescue--that is, animals employed in the use of locating people lost in the wilderness or by some other peril, such as natural disaster. Animal rescue (dog rescue, cat rescue, horse rescue, etc.) is different. It is people rescuing animals from peril, such as threat of euthanasia by animal shelters and other at-risk situations.

Are hair-covered animals at any risk? Yes. Skin cancer is found in almost all animals that have been studied in the long-term, for example, cattle, goats, sheep, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rats, and mice. Direct effects of UV-B radiation on body parts which are covered by thick hair are negligible. However, even furred animals usually have exposed skin around mouth and nostrils, and sometimes on some other parts of the body.

Many Schipperke breeders started out with Schips as a second breed, usually after having owned a larger breed for some time. Schips seem to have no difficulty in adjusting to life with other dogs, even large ones, or with cats, horses, cows, etc. They seem to feel their superiority of intellect makes them the equal of most any other of God's creatures, and will accept most of them. Moles, mice, ground squirrels and brooms, however, can expect no quarter.

Veterinarians say nothing can be done to save deer and elk affected by chronic wasting disease. However, removing affected individuals may help prevent the spread of infection within a herd. Feeding affected animals may keep them alive a little longer, but will not change the ultimate outcome. Feeding could increase the likelihood of transmitting the disease to other deer or elk.
